As I've shared before :-), my book which was published earlier this year is a collection of
poetry. It tells the story of my spiritual awakening. I share the journey to discovering my truth in a single life-changing moment.

Most areas of our lives require us to plan in order
to reach a certain goal. We have to carefully and skillfully map out the path
we need to take to reach a certain destination. However, that is not the case
with an awakening. It’s unexpected. It’s unplanned. You don’t realize that you’ve
been on a journey until you experience (say it with me) the spiritual
awakening. Although, I don't feel every one every second of every day, I can say the "symptoms" above are correct.

In that moment of truth, everything made sense. Every joy,
pain, hurt, obstacle, success, failure, love, loss, betrayal, friendship, enemy
etc. etc. all of a sudden had its perfect place in helping me develop into who
I am. It’s true for you also. If you've had your moment of
clarity, I would be honored if you could share a little. Just share what feels comfortable to you. For those who haven't yet, just wait! :-) You'll be telling your wonderful story one day.

When my friend posted the list on Facebook, I immediately thought if someone asked me how do I know I was awakened, these twelve statements would be a huge part of the answer.

As a counselor, it is to empower you to access your full potential and live more authentically!

As a poet, it is to share words to inspire love, deliverance from hurtful situations and encourage a renewed relationship with God.

As a speaker, it is to provide a dynamic experience which will actively engage you and your group in learning and growing.

My professional background includes over 14 years as a Career Counselor providing education planning and career guidance. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia and National Board Certified Counselor with a Master’s degree in Psychology. My publications include After the Sixth Day: Notes from a Spiritual Journey and Pain is Fertile Ground—poetry collections focused on spiritual awakening and growth.

On a more personal note, the southern lady that I am loves to cook (have you seen my Pinterest board?) and have fun with my family! Are there any two things that bring more joy to a G.R.I.T.S. (Girl raised in the south)? Lol

I hope we stay connected because new ventures are on the way to enlighten your mind and to partner with you to chart a course for your success!
